What happened?

The Mcdonalds we have today is so different from the ones we had before. We dropped by Mcdonalds for some nuggets and snack wraps and just waited nearly 30 minutes for our order! Will never go there again, ever. Such poor service.

Anyways, As I was saying - I sure miss the Mcdonalds from the good ol' days! I remembered my dad would bring us inside the base (Subic bay) and we would have a long walk to get to Mcdonalds instead of taking the bus. We would spent the whole afternoon playing with other military brats and just eating burgers, fries, nuggets and shakes. We loved getting happy meal toys with Our favorite Happy Meal Gang and the McNugget Buddies. I love looking at Ronald, Grimace, Birdie, Hamburglar... (sigh) I miss my childhood days.

As I was waiting for our order, I couldn't help but just look around the new Mcdonalds look. It never dawned on me until today, What happened to the old Mcdonalds?

Colorful red and yellow chairs were replaced with a more Cafe-like ambiance. the McCafe... So sad... But that's how it is, We leave old memories behind and welcome new ones. What was your best Childhood memory?

Shows in the 90's

If you were one of those kids who grew up in the 90's, THIS site is a great place to visit. The memories of my childhood just comes back all over again. Me and my brother loved watching Nickelodeon. Every morning before going to school we flip the channel to Nickelodeon and we would have a dose of our favorites. The same thing would be in the afternoon after school. Our favorites were: All that, Kenan and Kel, Hey arnold, Rugrats, Rockos modern life, are you afraid of the dark, Legends Of the Hidden Temple, Clarissa explains it all.

Moving to other channels, We also watched Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Ranma 1/2, Macross, other japanese drama cartoons that were tagalized like: Trapp family singers, Princess Sarah, Remi, Heidi, Cedie, A Dog of flanders and so on. A few Anime's here and there like Gundam Wing, Sailor moon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Wedding peach, Pokemon, Mojacko, Dexter's lab... We watched a lot of Bioman, Shaider, Masked rider black, Power rangers (LOL)... The list just goes on. I'm happy to walk down memory lane, I feel as if I'm a kid again. It feels so good. I miss my childhood days, Don't you?
